Sažetak
The purpose of this research was to study the level of knowledge about doping and nutrition among female soccer players from the first Croatian league. Another aim was to determine whether there is a statistically significant correlation between knowledge about doping and nutrition within a particular club, and the position of the same club in the championship standings at the end of the 2009/2010 competition season. To this end, a questionnaire for testing knowledge about doping and nutrition was used on 100 female soccer players from the first Croatian league who play in all of the eight female clubs in said league. The analysis of descriptive statistical parameters led to the conclusion that the knowledge of Croatian soccer players about doping and sports nutrition is poor. Additionally, the non-parametric correlation analysis discovered the disconcerting fact that there is a negative correlation between the end-of-season ranking of the club and the total doping and nutrition knowledge of the athletes from this club.
